There's no doubting that Danny Brough is a very talented player. He's been part of some memorable victories and has contributed enormously over the last couple of seasons. Him being a product of the academy makes his and the clubs progression all the sweeter.
However, he's unfortunately got himself into some bother off the field and has to look for the best deal for his family. We've offered him a very generous contract and unfortunately there are better offers elsewhere. The Club could do no more, and have managed to strike it lucky as Huddersfield are desperate to avoid a bidding war come the end of the season when he'd left us for nothing.
We've managed to get Korkidas on a permanent basis along with Kirmond on loan until the end of the season which will probably be funded by Huddersfield or at least a large % will be. We've also managed to get a transfer fee for a player who'll realistically only be missing 20 games. That coupled with Cooke on reduced terms and we'll be fine until the end of the season when no doubt we'll have a big signing lined up.
Do i think we'll be weaker without Brough? Of course we will, but that doesn't mean other players won't step up or that youngsters won't emerge as potential stars. We've brought Cooke in, Davey is improving with every game and Sam Obst is relishing being a pivotal player. That said we've also got young Cain Southerwood who may make an odd appearance. As with every player who leaves you are initially saddened, but someone's loss is another persons gain and we'll continue to improve as a unit as we always do.
Let's draw a line under it and get on with the job in hand!
